WELSH communists called for Tata Steel to be brought into public ownership at the weekend and condemned plans that will lead to at least 2,800 job losses.

The Communist Party in Wales condemned the Indian-owned company’s plans to shut the two blast furnaces at the Port Talbot steelworks as “a betrayal of Welsh workers and the Welsh economy.”

Welsh Party secretary David Morgan said: “The British government's surrender to Tata Steel’s threat to close the plant entirely is a criminal waste of £580 million of public money.”
